fine music and in many comforting words
read and spoken. At the cemetery traces
of faithful friends were seen in the dou-
bic arch of evergreens joined with white
ribbons, the green-lined grave and the
bank of richly tinted leaves so fitting for
the last resting-place of one who so
loved the beautiful in nature and art.
She seemed to CLEAN from nature much
which escaped the ordinary observer and
in almost living colors transcribed to her
home the flowers so carefully tended.
A few days previous she wished to hear
sung the hymn beginning, "There's land
that is fairer than day." A sweet voice
complied with the request and again that
day rose the words SIN the sweet by and
by" reminding the friends of the time
when her voice had mingled in song.
Her faith was strong all the way; dur
ing the last hours, when bidding a
member of the family farewell, she said
'Jesus is waiting there, on the other
Shore" and again murmured the word
''home." Going was, to her, sweet re.
lease from pain. An appropriate poem
entitled, ''Life Pictures" was read by
Prof. wager, who officiated at the ser
vice.

mud houses. On the way from Kansas
City to this place we pass thousands Of
the mud houses and one must see them to
know how they look.
After leaving Trinidad we rise the
mountains rapidly. for some miles 100
feet to the mile. At the State line be-
tween Colorado and New Mexico we en-
ter tunnel said to be III feet above the
level of the sea q did not wait to meas
ure it,. The tunnel is three-fonrths of
mile long. At the entrance is a white
post marked on one side Colorado; - on
the other. New Mexico" We were
obliged to stop more than an hour near
the tunnel. in the clouds: the mist equal
to our light rains. Those working out
side wore their rubber coats. The air
was so cold and damp that / put on a
heavy oyercoat and was none too warm.
After coming through the tunnel we had
a down grade for awhile, but only for
short time, as this city is over $500 feet
high. We came over the last seventy
miles in the night, so can say but little
about the looks of that part of the coun-
try, but | can assure you we see in get
ting here from Kansas hills of all sizes
and descriptions and one has to see them
to have much of an idea of their appear
ance.
Last ulS III IL Tdlneu mere. On the top
of mountain which we see to the north
west of here six miles it showed and the
mountain is white today. The snow us
ually remains on that mountain until
June. When | came from home | sup
posed we were coming to warm coun-
try and was greatly disappointed in find
ing that every hour we travelled this side
of Kansas City brought us into a cooler
climate. This is quite a pleasant city.
As | sit at my room window l can see
the beautiful hotel at the Hot Springs,
six miles from here. have not visited
either the house or spring. a good many
consumptive people come here and it is
: claimed that if they come as soon as they
ought to they usually receive benefit.
The sun shines here beautifully and one
wants to keep in it to be comfortable.
At night good supply of bed-clothes is
acceptable. L. d. L.

vestry painting and frescoing is in charge
of Mr.. a. Il. Taber.
The man calling himself Kelly, whose
case came before Mayor MeCuen, is now
ru,ticating at the work house for rs days
and 1t would be no matter of surprise If
some others, of his kidney, took trip
that way soon.
Bishop DeGoesbriand was present at
st. Peters church Sunday and con-
firmed two persons, and conferred the
degree of sub-deacon on Mr.. Frank
Pouquette and on Monday morning that
of full deacon. He is a candidate for
priestly orders. The bishop also visited
the parochial school, with which he ap-
peared much pleased.
The price of coal has advanced in this
market; Lackawanna and Lehigh to $50
per ton. Egg coal is running short and
the orders now in for new supply may
not be filed. OF the ordinary sizes it is
thought by our dealers there is sufficient
to meet the public needs, although this
seasons demand is larger than ever be-
fore. Coal sells 80 cents under Burling-
ton in this market.
The dramatic and musical entertain
ment at school house hall under the aus
pices of the women of st. Paul's parish
Certified Apart was by far the best
thing of the kind presented to the public
for years. Miss Clement made a splen.
did Lady Gwendolyn, while Mr.. Dorr, as
Sir Godfrey Bloomfield, was admirable
the music, the local hits, the comic parts
were of the best. The hall was packed
with our best people.
The harvest home festival at the Con
gregational church Sunday evening wa;
grand success. The good taste of the
young ladies had trimmed the churcl
richly with autumnal fruits and flowers
The singing and responsive readings were

A JOURNEY TO New MEXICO.
LAS VEGAS. n. NJ,
Sept. %. 1887.


Editor Register Since passed you at
your door, with the Merinos, have seen
good deal of land and great variety
of it. Perhaps you would like to know
little of our journey out here, and so
| will give you some idea of our trip.
We left Middlebury at 10 p. M, Tues
day and found ourselves in Montreal at
3 80 Wednesday morning. We expected
to start for Detroit at 1, but were
obliged to wait until 8 80 on account of
so many excursion trains to Toronto to
their fair. Our trip through Canada was
slow; we did not arrive at Detroit until
Friday We were greatly surprised to
see the country west of Montreal so
burned up with drouth, after leaving our
own State looking so green and nice. We
have had no such drouth in Vermont
since 1859 and 1860. We started Friday
afternoon from Detroit on fast through
freight train for st. Louis in an almost
direct line southwest, passing through
the south part of Michigan, the north
west corner of Ohio and from the north
east corner of Indiana through Logans-
port to Decatur, H., thence to ST. Louis.
Our trip from Detroit to St. Louis and
from st. Louis to Kansas City was rapid,
we having been put on fast through
freight making but short stops. We en-
joyed the trip very much, having been al
lowed the privilege of sitting in the con-
ductor's chair in the cupola of the ca
boose. We thus had an opportunity to
see very much more of the country than
can be seen from passenger car. We
expected every hour to see green fields.
We did not find them. The drouth has
been very extensive and very severe. To
all appearances not more tlan half crop
has been raised the greater part of the
way between Montreal and st. Louis.
We started west at daylight in the morn
ing and had fine views of he country on
the lower branch of the Santa Fe, leaving
Topeka nearly 80 miles north of us and re-
turning to the main road at Dodge City.
We moved rapidly while under motion,
but had to stop many times through the
day to let the G.. A. r. excursions from
California pass us. During the day we
met seven large trains coming to St.
Louis. We were nine hours behind time
when we arrived at Trinidad, Col.
Trinidad is city of $500 people. Many
stone and wood buildings have been built
in the new part of the city, but in the
old part there are numerous mud and sod
houses, some of these quite good ones.
They have way of mailing kind of
square brick of their clay and straw
which are said to last lolg time where
there is but little rain. young man
whom | met there from the East told me
that twenty years ago there was not a
shingled roof in the city and nothing but
